the united states army. he has already signed the militia act of 1862, which, for the first time since the revolution authorized, since the enlistment of blacks as soldiers in the united states army. and so his i would free none of the slaves simply is not on the table and the goal is to free all the slaves and as he says in that letter this reflects my position as president. my personal goal is that all men everywhere can be free. okay. so that's what this war is about. but the war is of course also a civil war a conflict between neighbors, a between people who knew each other before the war. lincoln was actually kind of friendly with alex stevens when they served together for one term in congress. so this is the classic civil war and civil wars are often far more brutal than conventional wars, although not always, obviously. there's nothing more than the than german war in 1939 to 1945. and that is not a civil war. what is going on with czar putin is not a civil war. it is an attack on another country. and

which of course, the union army does. the united states army becomes a great army of liberation. the first law of war question and comments at the very beginning of combat, with the battle of the bull run. at the battle of bull run, the united states captures confederate soldiers, and the confederates capture the united soldiers. if the session is illegal, which of course is the position of the united states from day one, then the confederate army is not an army of another nation. the confederate army is in fact a terrorist organization, under organization of pirates and bush walkers heard --. how do you treat confederate p.o.w.s? francis lieber, who is not working for the u.s. government, but is still at columbia, writes an open letter in the new york times, dealing with the question of confederate prisoners. this is the beginning of the law of war. what francis lieber says, is you have to recognize the reality of war. it doesn't matter whether we recognize the legitimacy of your federal government. what matters is that we recognize that there is a war going on. therefore, you sh

but the union army units and some confederate army units copied that because it is cool. that is what the really important military units of europe do. you will find copies of european-style uniforms and every form from one of the most famous units that fight in the battle of gettysburg. the 83rd pennsylvania. the 83rd pennsylvania adopts as its uniform a special kind of advanced french unit and have a little back and forwards cap that they wear. they have uniform colors for both pants and jacket, which the rest of the army doesn't have. and then there are other units which adopt german style uniforms because a large component of the union army at gettysburg comes from german immigrants. there were some union army regiments were the officers were still giving orders in german. at the battle of gettysburg. they will imitate a variety of european model's and anyone who imagines the uniform of the union army was uniform it wasn't. if you would plopped down in the middle of gettysburg july 1- 3, 1863 and take a look around the army at the potomac the official name of the unio

fire attacks and 65 airstrikes in a small village that has a total of 200 houses, the zionist army seized units. and the elite of the army of the zionist regime have not achieved anything until this moment , they were not able to occupy this village , i have to say this very clearly that the army of the zionist regime must take casualties meter by meter in order to advance inside the lebanese territory if it can enter and if the tactic of the resistance forces is that these to the areas of southern lebanon inside and , like the 33-day war, inside the areas of southern lebanon, turn this place into a killing ground for the occupying forces and the destruction ground of mirkava tanks. this will be very heavy for the zionist regime. more importantly, this is the first war. it is in the history of the zionist regime that the war is not one-sided , in the sense that it is not only lebanon that is being targeted, the depth of lebanon or the residential areas of lebanon . areas of gathering of zionist soldiers and zionist partners under attack a missile was placed in the north of lebanon . it is a ver

the bbc has been speaking with alexander vindman — restired united states army lieutenant colonel and for the united states national security council. we asked what north korean support says about putin's strategy going forward. it is diminished access to resources frankly epic is more of a messaging tool. it's a message that he wants to send that this is not a stable conflict that there are a risk that this could blow up and be a bigger regional or global conflict. the message that he wants to send is this is not —— something that will blow up in his face on one of the consistent miscalculations he is made in this war. south koreans could step in, provide significant material aid. they are very advanced technologies the europeans won't back off, nato will back off. once we get ourselves straight in the us, we're on the precipice with either greater support to ukraine or a complete withdrawal. we will be able to play a much more significant role also. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. sir keir starmer has been preparing

united army regulations. article 52 clearly stipulates. what happens if you don't have orders from an officer to go and forage? you just go under yo own power to property and take stuff doesn't belong to you. and the regulations state any officer, soldier who sha plunder and pillage every such offender being duly convied thereof shall suffer death or such other punishment as shall ordered by the sentence of, a general court martial martial, while waging in any form against civilians, might indeed, as it did, to breakdowns in discipline. while it might shift allegiances, there is evidence that it did there are some soldiers thought that if you weighed everything in the balance the pros and cons recognizing that we do not live in an ideal world that their actions were indeed justified. so i want to spend some time this morning talking about how they felt they were justified because this whole presentation this morning is about soldier perspective. dr. finkelman next up will give all perspectives about military law and those types of things.

in 2006 , a thirty-thousand-strong group of the israeli army was already fighting with hezbollah units, but then the buffer zone was not created and now a new round of this undying conflict, which is already called the third lebanon war. pyotr deryagin, alina abdyukhanova, sergei prokofiev, channel one. russian flags are raised over several buildings in ugledar in the dpr. there are battles for the city. our military is taking a block for quarter, knocking out the ukrainian armed forces soldiers from the houses that they turned into fortresses. strategically important settlement. liberation of the city will allow control over a large section of the contact line, disrupt the communications of the ukrainian army. in addition, ugledar is located on a hill, which gives an advantage in conducting military operations. motorized riflemen, tankers, and artillery are participating in the operation. today, the fighters of these units have a holiday: ground forces day. and footage from the southern donetsk section of the grad multiple launch rocket system in operation. the enemy's strongholds hav

army does not become a threat to the federal government. and in that act that establishes west point, jefferson also directs a corps of engineers be established as part of the united states army to try to train loyal expert engineers, and so that they didn't have to employ engineers from those foreign lands. this is the logo, the patch of the army engineers, still to this day. so, if you see a soldier with this patch on his uniform, he is an army engineer. army engineers has been, and always will be, critical to america's military missions, whether in time of war, or in time of peace. army engineers -- i am going to talk about exploring today -- but, they also build bridges, reroute rivers, help to survey and plat canals. they basically make the infrastructure of the early republic possible, because they are the best trained engineers in the country. and so, the army is responsible for a lot of the development that we see, even on the east coast, which is not the subject, right, of our class. but also, on the frontier. so, if you ever drive across a bridge, or a forwarded river in the u.s., you can probably count on the fact that the army got there first and does

he's one of the most accomplished soldiers in modern his tree of the united army. he's highly educated. when he says trump is a fascist to his bones, believe general millie. believe what is at stake here. and forget about longform journalism, forget about specificity and the economic plan or whether or not jack smith is being mean to trump and focus on what's at stake here, that literally, this election is about the constitution. we are not going to have one if we lose it. and i'm not exaggerating. i'd love to debate anybody on that question. >> one of the things that stood out to me and that you obviously feel strongly about this, because you said it in longform interviews, that he needs to stop answering questions and start asking them, which is a really interesting tactic. for people that don't understand what that means, what should she start asking? >> and means -- she does four or five. when you interview me, you could ask the question, i have to respond if you do out of courtesy, and that's the way that the rules are right. she's answering questions. start a

united states. but they don't want to have a very army. so they're going to do some very interesting things with that army to make it fit within america's democratic system and our system of government. so to justify having an army at all needed a job, especially when the nation was not at war and the us isn't at war most of the time. so they need to give the soldiers something to do so that if there is a crisis or the country go to war, you have at least a small army ready to train and equip the volunteer years that you'll draw from the militia. but you don't want them to be too powerful or too ready to go to war. they might be a threat. so they settle on science. it's really interesting. the 19th century army and especially army prior to the civil war is army of exploration. they fight a few wars that we might about, but in reality even when they are fighting those wars, they are talking about scientific expeditions and gathering to a great and so the principal institution for soldiers along this scientific method is west point which is
